Symptoms range from mild wheezing to severe life-threatening events, and while prevalent in 1 in 2100 children, treatment strategies, especially surgical, remain debated.
For moderate or severe symptoms, your child may need surgery to make the airway larger. This will help your child breathe more easily. In some cases, your doctor may want to do a surgical procedure called a tracheotomy.
